    This thread has had quite a lot of views since it was started. So, I thought that there should be some conclusion. After testing the different value treble bleeds, the one I found most useful was the 1nF capacitor in parallel with a 150 k ohm resistor.

    As Fender3x mentioned - "All sorts of other things can affect your tone. Where you have the tone pot, how long your cable is, etc."

    So, it may not be the best treble bleed for all situations. But I think it is a good starting point!

    As mentioned in the thread https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...l=1#post229511 PBG now stock these treble bleeds and also a tester which has crocodile clips for solder-free testing.

    These are available at https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/...pgrade-tester/.

    Apologies for the plug!
